Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your herbal wellness journey
Getting Started
How do I choose the right products for my needs? +
We recommend starting with our wellness quiz or scheduling a free consultation. Each product page includes detailed information about who it's best suited for. You can also read our product descriptions to understand which herbs align with your wellness goals. If you're unsure, our Starter Sets are designed to introduce you to our most popular blends.
What makes Wild Weeds Apothecary different from other herbal companies? +
We specialize in women's wellness with a focus on honoring natural cycles and feminine wisdom. All our products are crafted in small batches with intention, using ethically sourced, organic herbs. We combine ancient herbal wisdom with modern understanding, and every purchase includes educational materials to empower your wellness journey.
Are your products organic? +
Yes, we use certified organic herbs whenever possible. When organic options aren't available, we source from trusted wildcrafters who harvest sustainably and ethically. All our suppliers are carefully vetted to ensure the highest quality and purity standards.
Product Information
How should I store my herbal products? +
Store your herbs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep teas and dried herbs in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Tinctures should be kept in their original amber bottles. Most products maintain potency for 1-2 years when stored properly.
What's the difference between teas, tinctures, and elixirs? +
Teas are dried herbs steeped in hot water, offering a gentle, ritual-based approach to herbalism. Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts in alcohol or glycerin, providing a more potent and convenient option. Elixirs combine tinctures with honey or other natural sweeteners for a pleasant taste and additional therapeutic benefits.
How long before I see results? +
Herbal remedies work gently with your body's natural processes. Some people notice immediate effects with calming teas, while hormonal support blends may take 2-3 cycles to show full benefits. We recommend consistent use for at least 4-6 weeks to evaluate effectiveness.
Safety & Usage
Are your products safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? +
Some herbs are not recommended during pregnancy or nursing. Each product page lists safety considerations. We always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or a qualified herbalist before using herbal products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We also offer a special line of pregnancy-safe products.
Can I use your products alongside prescription medications? +
While many herbs are safe to use with medications, some can interact. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before combining herbal products with prescription medications. We provide detailed herb profiles with each product that you can share with your healthcare team.
Are there any side effects? +
Most people tolerate herbs well, but individual sensitivities can occur. Start with smaller doses to assess your body's response. Common reactions might include mild digestive changes as your body adjusts. Discontinue use if you experience any adverse effects and consult with a healthcare provider.
Is it safe to use multiple products together? +
Yes, many of our products are designed to work synergistically. However, we recommend introducing one new product at a time to monitor how your body responds. Our consultation service can help create a personalized protocol combining multiple products safely.
